There is no virus that currently exists that would be considered the zombie virus. However rabies is an exceptionally close one, so comparisons can be drawn. The zombie virus would most likely require a host to remain alive so allot he important functions such as the ones that allow breathing or cardiac activity will have to remain. However the virus would most likely attack the areas of the brain mostly in regards to the areas controlling judgement, perception, anger, impulse control, and appetite.
